    Hi Gang,

    Assuming the doors open at 6:00pm on Sunday, I'll be waiting in the lobby to greet you and then suggest you immediately go down to the Auditorium to grab seats so we can all sit (as much as feasibly possible) together. Last year, we placed coats on seats to save space for fellow Members and then took turns going upstairs to partake of the Food & Drink. As I recall, the seat grab takes place quickly, so I recommend everyone arrive promptly at 6:00!

    I spoke to the Paley Center and was told they'd probably let us begin retrieving our tickets at Will Call a bit before 6:00pm, so I'd suggest you arrive a few minutes before 6:00pm to pick up your ticket and then head down to find seats. I will be there at 5:50pm.

    Any extra tix the auditorium is sold out and there is only room in the satellite section. I'm new, so I have no idea the layout of this event.
